Looking for something like Octopress in Python. Of course, I came across a number of options with a simple google search:<p>http://gistpages.com/2013/08/12/complete_list_of_static_site_generators_for_python<p>Not included in this is Nikola, which looks interesting:<p>http://getnikola.com/<p>I am looking for feedback from first hand experience with any of these (or others).<p>Why Python? Because I am working with Python for a number of other projects and I'd like to stay in that domain if at all possible. Avoiding PHP for the same and other reasons.
I've been using Pelican for over a year and have been pleased. It's mature, but still has active development and a strong community. A few major features:<p><pre><code> * markup languages (reStructuredText, Markdown, etc.),
* code highlighting via pygments
* themeable
* simple to use
* support for automated deployment
</code></pre>

I use Hyde and it works great for me.<p><a href="http://ringce.com/hyde" rel="nofollow">http://ringce.com/hyde</a><p>My webpage uses it, feel free to steal everything besides the content:<p><a href="https://github.com/stucchio/homepage" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/stucchio/homepage</a>
This works well if you want to start from a dynamic application: <a href="https://github.com/SimonSapin/Frozen-Flask" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/SimonSapin/Frozen-Flask</a>
I am using tinkerer <a href="http://www.tinkerer.me/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tinkerer.me/</a>, its very simple to change and manage and uses well known sphinx-doc with jinja templates. I like it a lot you can check my live site at <a href="http://www.vyomtech.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vyomtech.com/</a>, since it uses boilerplate html 5 template its very easy to customize.
I use mynt. <a href="https://github.com/Anomareh/mynt" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Anomareh/mynt</a>
It is much simpler compared to hyde. The reason I chose mynt above other similar options is that, it allows for custom urls that made migrating my previous wordpress blog posts easier without having to resort to .htaccess magic.
I built and use djangothis[1] for my blog. It gives you most of the power and flexibility of django, like templates, arbitrary urls and views [which gets converted to static html], templatetags and a few other niceties.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/amitu/djangothis/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/amitu/djangothis/</a>.
